Where to find tcl/tk Tkinter component memory limits

[David LeBlanc]

That varies to some extent by platform and OS version. For example, on
Windows, Tk wraps (some/all of?) the host controls and it's their limits
that control. On Windows 9x/Me, the text control is limited to 64kb and on
NT/2000/XP, the limit is 1-2 mb (theoretically 4gb, but there's another OS
limit: the details of which I've forgotten).

I would expect the same to be true on other platforms where Tk wraps the
host GUI library in lieu of providing direct implementations.

Hitting comp.lang.tcl might get you more information.
